The Shimano 105 WH-RS710-C46-TL is a full-carbon 46mm deep-section rear wheel that brings genuine aerodynamic performance and tubeless capability to everyday road and endurance riding. Sharing its development concept with Dura-Ace and Ultegra carbon wheels, the RS710 delivers stiff, lightweight construction and a confident disc brake platform at an accessible price point.

Highlights

  • Full carbon CFRP rim: 46mm deep section cuts cleanly through the air on flat roads and rolling terrain.
  • Clincher and tubeless-ready: run tubes straight away or go tubeless for lower rolling resistance and pinch-flat protection.
  • 21mm internal / 28mm external rim width: wide profile optimised for modern 25–32mm tyre fitments.
  • 12x142mm E-Thru axle: thru-axle standard locks the wheel rigidly into disc brake dropouts for precise, fade-free braking.
  • Centre Lock disc brake mount: works with standard Centre Lock rotors (rotor sold separately).
  • 24 bladed, butted stainless steel spokes: aluminium nipples keep weight low while maintaining lateral stiffness.
  • 893g rear wheel weight: competitive for a full-carbon disc road wheel at this depth.
  • 11/12-speed compatible: Shimano HG freehub body accepts both 11-speed and 12-speed Shimano road cassettes.

Full Carbon Construction

The WH-RS710 rim is built entirely from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), delivering a 46mm profile that balances aerodynamic advantage with manageable crosswind handling. The 21mm internal channel width provides excellent tyre support and a stable contact patch, while the 28mm external width contributes a smoothly blended aero profile. Tubeless compatibility lets you reduce tyre pressure for improved grip and comfort on imperfect road surfaces — rim tape and tubeless valves are sold separately.

Hub and Bearings

The rear hub runs contact-sealed bearings for smooth, low-maintenance rolling and long-term durability in varied conditions. A pawl ratchet mechanism provides positive freehub engagement. The Shimano HG freehub body is compatible with 11-speed and 12-speed Shimano road cassettes, including the CS-R9200, CS-R8100, and CS-R7100 series.
